So who do we elect this year?

Anyone else notice that Pence’s response to a woman telling him “stop” over and over again is to just keep doing what he wants to do?

Doesn’t matter that it’s not sexual, it’s the same abuse.

Yup.

“No means no” applies to way more than sex. Refusal to accept that is (with rare exceptions, don’t come at me with the edge cases like some kind of smartass, folks) abuse.

ummm… so… what do you think this is all about? i mean, sure, there are plenty of reasons and it could’ve happened long before now, but… why now? does she know something new that gives this discussion some actual weight?

Yea, I wonder if this is speculative, or if there is actual stuff we don’t know about.

I mean, the idea that trump would try to burn it all down on his way out is entirely too feasible. But also, that’s been true this whole time.

well, Pence just cancelled his trip to Indiana tomorrow, no reason given, and he’s headed back to DC… wonder if Trump has taken a downhill turn. has he been tweeting today?

Yea, he’s been doing lots of retweeting, and also this:

But the last one that actually sounds like his voice was 5 hours ago:

I also wonder WTF is up with Pence, and cancelling.

hmm. apparently, now it’s not just “talking” about Amendment 25 – her office says she’s going to introduce legislation to create a “Commission on Presidential Capacity.”

Methinks he doth protest too much. Who thinks he is super sick and is trying to pass off his inability to participate as Biden’s fault for wanting to stay safe from the infectious turd?

Something about the fly, maybe?

So … ugh … so sick … does anyone know how to report accessibility problems at polling places?

  1. Not technically at the polling place, but there was construction and there were strobe lights at a bridge on the way. I made it across but got a migraine and couldn’t walk back.

  2. After the place closed, while waiting for a taxi, there were strobe lights fired all in front of the polling place. I didn’t have a seizure this time but have had one from less, and got an even worse migraine from this.

  3. No designated place for taxi pick-up, in a vast area, with limited visibility.

#3. Ought to be easy enough to solve. #2. is probably mandated by some safety-through-superior-signalpower policy.

That does it, they’ve convinced me. I’m absolutely siding with Fox and Pompeo here!

…I’m definitely not voting for Clinton this year. No, no, there’s nothing you can say to convince me I’m wrong, my mind is made up!

I’m guessing it would be the county clerk’s office that you’d notify.

… A vote for Trump is all that, and more so. I mean if you’re concerned about freedom of speech, you don’t vote for someone who wants to use “ominous weapons” against protesters, if you’re concerned about freedom of religion and freedom of movement, you don’t vote for someone who calls for a ban on Muslim immigrants, you don’t vote for someone who prosecutes people for helping immigrants, you don’t vote for someone who builds a wall to keep out immigrants… A vote for Biden is a vote against Trump, so in practice, a repudiation of the worse versions of these.
